dc.description.abstractEfforts are being made to document how communities are responding to climate vulnerability challenges at the local level. This paper focuses on two communities, the Oyola and Wakesi peoples who reside on the fringes of Lake Victoria (Western Kenya). Researchers and community participants mapped out climate events and the effects on their communities. A summary was drawn of the problems and opportunities that were identified from the historical profile the communities had created. Coping strategies were enumerated along with new strategies, such as construction of water pans and canals for drainage and water storage.en
